Is a holiday a good idea if you have Depression?

Well it all depends on you. A holiday can be just another stress. Deciding what to pack and getting on with family members in close quarters. Of course it can be a breath of fresh air and a chance to have a break from the worries of home, but then again you will still have to come home and face up to those everyday worries once more. Sometimes it is best just to plod gently through your usual routine. I've just been away with the family for five days. The weather was not awful but it was not good either. All we seemed to do was travel and eat lots. Not very good for the pocket and not terribly exciting either. Of course I wasn't depressed at this time but think I would have felt pretty ghastly if I had been. We went in two cars so all the liaising to get to the same place would have worried me greatly. No I think a holiday in a hotel with a trusted friend would be best if you were depressed, but that might give you money worries instead . There is a lot to be said for spending the night in your own bed.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
